AT&T, Stop Blaming Your Horrible Network And Leave Your Best Customers Alone

Once upon a time wireless carriers offered unlimited data plans. Consumers signed the contracts, got their iPhone or Droids and went on to enjoy the smartphone revolution. Along the way streaming video and music hit it big and social media exploded into new demographics. All these things require data, but no worries — the carriers said we had unlimited data. Consume all you want, they said. But then a glowing lightbulb appeared above some carrier's executive's head, suddenly realizing data is an untapped source of massive revenue. Unlimited plans were replaced by tiered data and fear-mongering marketing campaigns were launched to scare consumers into buying more data than they need. Carriers allowed current subscribers to keep their unlimited plans but they aren't safe forever. Now AT&T is aggressively throttling users in an attempt to purge users from the open data bar. The sad thing? AT&T is targeting their best customers with these attacks, many of which have plenty of better options now.
